A daily updated blog typed by someone with painty hands, oil under his fingernails and the smell of solder in his nostrils who likes making all sort of models and miniatures. And fixing things.

Mr Starboard
Since this is an IP Engineering kit, I thought I ought to use one of their figures.
Obviously, Mr Starboard is perfect since he's looking the right way, I have a Mr Port for another project. Slightly cartoony in the manner of most garden scale people, I don't think the camera has been kind. Painted up, he looks rather nice and the eyes don't look so weird.
Paint is mostly Humbrol with Lifecolor flesh tones. All the colours were applied and then dry-brushed with a lighter shade. Once dry, a quick and thin coat of Games Workshop inks (black and brown) took care of the shadows.

Hmmm. Just as long as that "Mr. Port" doesn't look as if he's been slightly too thorough when testing the Douro Valley's most famous export ... .
Only saying.
